A non-profit group called the Friends of Orion Center, to help support the Orion Senior Center, will be forming soon.
Senior center director Mary Lou Enneking said the group has received final non-profit status and will become the ‘fundraising arm? of the center. The group will seek grants and other fundraising.
‘I was very limited in what I could do, in applying for grants and fundraising,? Enneking said. ‘So the governing board decided to form a friends group. It’ll be like the Friends of the Library, or the Friends of Bald Mountain.?
Enneking said residents will be able to join the group, but that specifics about membership are still being determined and will be offered to the public at a later date.
